Support command line option "-listen"
Hi, I installed multivnc in Ubuntu 18.04 and I tried:
multivnc -listen
I got a dialog stating "Failure connecting to server at -listen!". Is there a command line argument available to launch multivnc in listen mode? If not, is it possible to add one, preferably one that only shows the UI when the first connection is received?
Then I went on with launching plain multivnc and clicking on the "Listen" toolbar button. I was able to connect a client there with x11vnc -connect multivnc-ip. But I wasn't able to connect a second client simultaneously, like in xvnc4viewer -listen. Is this possible? If not, could it be supported in a future version?
If these features are met, multivnc will be an excellent first choice as a dependency of epoptes.org (I'm the main developer there). Thank you!
No, there's none and yes, that possible to add. For the listen-for-multiple-servers, would you be so kind and open a separate issue?
Thank you; I filed #136 for the multiple reverse connections.
Regarding the platform-linux tag, it would be great if -listen was also supported in Windows, as there we could replace realvnc with multivnc.
As it stands now, I'm not able to invest a substantial amount of time in this due to childcare, but I can set apart some time to do pull request reviews.

Unfortunately that's the case for me as well, and it's the main reason that epoptes relies on external programs instead of directly using libvnc. :/
Thank you for your time!
